How to Enrol

When to Enrol in Primary School
To start primary school your child will need to turn 5 years old by 30 April in the year that they start school. Your child must be at school in the year that they turn 6 years of age. This is the compulsory school starting age.
The first year of primary school is called Foundation or Prep. Read more about when and how to enrol your child in the first year of primary school at enrolling in Foundation (Prep).
If you need to enrol at a different time or year level, contact our enrolment officer Mrs. Kim Winters in the school office on 9874 6381.
